Is there any debate?! This, may be the shortest blog post ever as although never one to tell another couple what to do (ahem… and I probably should not start with the future King and Queen!) as all weddings are so personal… I do feel in this instance that there is only one answer to that question… and I hope it’s yes!

Really… would the latest steamer from John Lewis do it? How about those fluffy Egyptian cotton towels? A new salt and pepper set? One would wager that one would already have a hook up of this kind already. Wouldn’t one?

Even for ‘commoner’ couples who have been together for any length of time – too many traditional presents for the home are likely to create clutter and chaos instead of celebration – hence the move in popularity towards monetary gifts (a debate for another time).

Which brings us to the happy couple. While I cannot proclaim to have been invited to their North Wales home – I am prepared to wager that traditional items won’t be gifts that will float this royal couples boat, so Kate, if you’re reading this, I have a suggestion for your consideration.

From the guests from far flong exotic places – perhaps don’t stop their desire to contribute a bespoke token from their countries. Trying to curb any insistence about that could result in more orgaisational stress – not needed! It’s all about picking your battles as a bride.

Beyond that… I am sure one of the 20 charities Prince William is a patron for will appreciate any Registry charity donations love that can go their way.

To each their own, but I know in my planning so far, I have perceived anything that seems like a no brainer as a gift… as it removes the challenge of too much choice.

It seems like this matter of a royal registry may be Ms Middleton’s equivalent of a forgone conclusion. Now that in itself is a gift!
